These last couple of days I've been preoccupied with a headphone amp-issue, which by the way is something that has never been on my mind before. As of now I am skeptical as to possible improvement. Skeptical mostly because NAD 3200BEE, according the opinions or reviews, has a high quality headphone jack at it is.
Nevertheless, I've been investigated the issue somewhat at depth and at least it seems that you have quite a price range in order to get clear sound improvment or any uimprovement at all. For instance I have heard statement to the effect that Rega Ear is lateral movement compared with NAD 320BEE, i.e. no improvement but basically the same quality. Now, if that is correct or not I wouldn't know since I suppose you need to give it a listen if you are to decided for yourself. However, I have no real reason to doubt that call, especially not in light of testimonies on the quality of the headphone jack on the NAD.
My question here is therefore. Would a purchase of a dedicated headphone amp improve sound quality in a noticeable way using my Sennheiser HD 600, compared to the quality I already have with NAD 320BEE?
If you think yes (1) Do have an experience of you own that indicates this? (2) Which headphone amp would you suggest?
Indeed, Sennheiser HD 600 is quite an amazing headphone so naturally I would be interested if further improvements can be made.
